Item #40988 Blue Eyed Lemur. William S. BURROUGHS.
Blue Eyed Lemur.

80.

Blue Eyed Lemur.

Acrylic paint on watercolour paper. SIGNED, titled and dated (“5/27/91”) in pencil to lower edge. 48x33cm.

A dense painting portraying the ghost-like face of a lemur, the ‘blue eyes’ of which have been painted on a separate section of paper (approx. 17x26cm.) and collaged to make a composite image.

As Burroughs would likely have known, the blue-eyed black lemur is among the most critically endangered species in Madagascar.

Fine.
